We recently needed to buy toilet roll. was on 2 for 9pd in co op. I bought 4. The rolls do not have perforations! Am hoping its just this first pack but I net they're all from the same batch

So I have 36 rolls
Would be perfect for the 'make a mummy' game tho

How many rolls in a pack?

Can you take them back?

WorraLiberty · 17/05/2012 22:54

Can't you get the Butler to do it and fold those nice little corners on each square?

BodaciousTatas · 17/05/2012 22:55

Bugger! When was this purchased?

I have a shelf in the garage full of special offer bog roll from the coop. I will have check for perforations in the morning.

36 rolls? I take it you don't have teenagers. We'd go through that amount in a month. Although, maybe if they had to go to the effort of tearing it, they'd use less... Wink

The butler has refused, says its too much like hard work. Do you really think I should take them back? Can just imagine the looks ill get when I turn up with my loo roll with no holes

Couldn't you keep some pinking shears on a hook by the lav?!!

StealthPolarBear · 17/05/2012 22:58

Agent no you use more, you sort of yank it and a load come out...
Bt you may think its fine. It has perforations for the first couple of revolutions but then when you get further down...nothing

for a moment there i thought this was a piss take on the toilet cleaning poo thread.....

Grin

i was going to say pay the cleaner to do it - just provide rubber gloves and the should wipe your arse too....

but i can see this one is not a piss take. so yanbu. take scissors into the bathroom?

That is what reminded me Tbh. It's not been playing on my mind or anything :o

Your household only uses two-thirds of one loo roll a week??

NorksAreMessy · 17/05/2012 23:06

A sewing machine with no thread in will make the perforations for you.

I once I'd this for raffle tickets
HTH

This IS a joke, yes? Never sure when on MN...

StealthPolarBear · 18/05/2012 09:25

Ok a year was maybe a bit of an exaggeration! There just seems to be loads of the stuff

So set up a sewing machine in the loo Grin

Or fashion something from a bit of an old cling film box?
